CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/602,395, filed May 23, 2017, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/340,417, filed 23 May 2016, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

The body normally serves as host for a variety of bacteria and fungi. Most of the time, the balance between the body as host and the microorganisms is maintained. However, there are times when the physiological, biochemical, and/or environmental conditions permit the microorganisms to tip that balance, thereby causing an infection.

Despite advances in the understanding of the pathology of bacterial infections and fungal infections, there is still a need for compositions and methods that efficiently treat or prevent the progression and reoccurrence of bacterial infections and fungal infections that affect the skin, the ears, or the feet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure describes dry formulations, compounded compositions, kits, capsules, containers, and/or methods thereof. It is to be understood that the inventive aspects of which are not limited to specific synthetic methods unless otherwise specified, or to particular reagents unless otherwise specified, as such may, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, example methods and materials are now described.

All publications mentioned herein are incorporated herein by reference to disclose and describe the methods and/or materials in connection with which the publications are cited. The publications discussed herein are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that the present invention is not entitled to antedate such publication by virtue of prior invention.

a. Definitions

As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

The phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the recited components in a composition or the recited steps in a method as well as those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic or characteristics of the claimed composition or claimed method. The phrase “consisting of” excludes any component, step, or element that is not recited in the claim. The phrase “comprising” is synonymous with “including”, “containing”, or “characterized by”, and is inclusive or open-ended. “Comprising” does not exclude additional, unrecited components or steps.

As used herein, when referring to any numerical value, the term “about” means a value falling within a range that is ±10% of the stated value.

Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, a further aspect includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms a further aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as “about” that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value “10” is disclosed, then “about 10” is also disclosed. It is also understood that each unit between two particular units are also disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are disclosed, then 11, 12, 13, and 14 are also disclosed.

References in the specification and concluding claims to parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition denotes the weight relationship between the element or component and any other elements or components in the composition or article for which a part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight component X and 5 parts by weight component Y, X and Y are present at a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are contained in the compound.

As used herein, the terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. In an aspect, a disclosed method can optionally comprise one or more additional steps, such as, for example, repeating an administering step or altering an administering step.

As used herein, the term “subject” refers to the target of administration, e.g., a human being. The term “subject” also includes domesticated animals (e.g., cats, dogs, etc.), livestock (e.g., cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.), and laboratory animals (e.g., mouse, rabbit, rat, guinea pig, fruit fly, etc.). Thus, the subject of the herein disclosed methods can be a vertebrate, such as a mammal, a fish, a bird, a reptile, or an amphibian. Alternatively, the subject of the herein disclosed methods can be a human, non-human primate, horse, pig, rabbit, dog, sheep, goat, cow, cat, guinea pig, or rodent. The term does not denote a particular age or sex. Thus, adult and child subjects, as well as fetuses, whether male or female, are intended to be covered. In an aspect, a subject can be a human patient. In an aspect, the subject can have diabetes, can be obese, can be immunocompromised, can be non-ambulatory, or can have poor blood flow, or a combination thereof. In an aspect, the subject can routinely wear thick socks or wear heavy boots.

A subject can have a bacterial infection, be suspected of having a bacterial infection, or be at risk of developing a bacterial infection. A subject can have a fungal infection, be suspected of having a fungal infection, or be at risk of developing a fungal infection. A subject can have a bacterial infection and a fungal infection, be suspected of having a bacterial infection and a fungal infection, or be at risk of developing a bacterial infection and a fungal infection.

For example, a subject at risk of developing a bacterial infection can have, for example, risk factors for developing a bacterial infection (e.g., have damaged or moist skin, have a chronic disease, and/or be immunocompromised). For example, a subject at risk for developing a bacterial infection can be exposed to a bacterium or bacteria due to employment (e.g., a health care worker) or due to the prevalence of a bacterium or bacteria at a specific location (e.g., a hospital).

For example, a subject at risk of developing a fungal infection can have, for example, risk factors for developing a fungal infection (e.g., have damaged or moist skin, have a chronic disease, and/or be immunocompromised). For example, a subject at risk for developing a fungal infection can be exposed to a fungus or fungi due to employment (e.g., a health care worker) or due to the prevalence of a fungus or fungi at a specific location (e.g., a hospital).

For example, a subject can have an infection that affects one or more parts of one or both ears of a subject (i.e., the inner ear, the middle ear, the auditory canal, the pinna, etc.). Ear infections can be inflammatory, ulcerative, and/or painful conditions of the ear, which include, but are not limited to, the following: otitis externa, otitis media, otorrhea, acute mastoiditis, otosclerosis, otic pain, otic bleeding, otic inflammation, Lermoyez's syndrome, Meniere's disease, vestibular neuronitis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, herpes zoster oticus, Ramsay Hunt's syndrome, viral neuronitis, ganglionitis, geniculate herpes, labyrinthitis, purulent labyrinthitis, perilymph fistulas, presbycusis, drug-induced ototoxicity, acoustic neuromas, aerotitis media, infectious myringitis, bullous myringitis, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, pre-cancerous otic conditions, nonchromaffin paragangliomas, chemodectomas, glomus jugulare tumors, glomus tympanicum tumors, perichondritis, aural eczematoid dermatitis, malignant external otitis, subperichondrial hematoma, ceruminomas, impacted cerumen, sebaceous cysts, osteomas, keloids, otalgia, tinnitus, vertigo, tympanic membrane infection, tympanitis, otic furuncles, petrositis, conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, epidural abscess, lateral sinus thrombosis, subdural empyema, otitic hydrocephalus, Dandy's syndrome, bullous myringitis, diffuse external otitis, foreign bodies, keratosis obturans, otic neoplasm, otomycosis, trauma, acute barotitis media, acute eustachian tube obstruction, postsurgical otalgia, cholesteatoma, and infections related to an otic surgical procedure.

A “patient” refers to a subject afflicted with one or more infections. In an aspect, a patient can refer to a subject that has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having a bacterial infection. In an aspect, a bacterial infection or suspected bacterial infection can affect at least a portion of one or both feet of the subject, the subject's skin, one or both of the subject's ears, or another appendage, such as at least a portion of one or both of the subject's hands. In an aspect, a patient can refer to a subject that has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having a fungal infection. In an aspect, a fungal infection or suspected fungal infection can affect at least a portion of one or both feet of the subject, the subject's skin, one or both of the subject's ears, or another appendage, such as at least a portion of one or both of the subject's hands.

As used herein, the term “treatment” refers to the medical management of a patient with the intent to cure, ameliorate, stabilize, or prevent a disease, pathological condition, or disorder (such as, for example, a bacterial infection, a suspected bacterial infection, a fungal infection, or a suspected fungal infection, or both). This term includes active treatment, that is, treatment directed specifically toward the improvement of a disease, pathological condition, or disorder, and also includes causal treatment, that is, treatment directed toward removal of the cause of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder. In addition, this term includes palliative treatment, that is, treatment designed for the relief of symptoms rather than the curing of the disease, pathological condition, or disorder; preventative treatment, that is, treatment directed to minimizing or partially or completely inhibiting the development of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder; and supportive treatment, that is, treatment employed to supplement another specific therapy directed toward the improvement of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder. In various aspects, the term covers any treatment of a subject, including a mammal (e.g., a human), and includes: (i) preventing the disease, pathological condition, or disorder from occurring in a subject that can be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (ii) inhibiting the disease, pathological condition, or disorder, i.e., arresting its development; or (iii) relieving the disease, pathological condition, or disorder, i.e., causing regression of the disease.

In an aspect, “treating” means eradicating a bacterial infection, a fungal infection, a suspected bacterial infection, a suspected fungal infection, or a combination thereof. In an aspect, treating means reducing the effects of a bacterial infection or a fungal infection or symptoms of a bacterial infection or a fungal infection. For example, treating an infection can reduce the severity of an established infection in a subject by 1%-100% as compared to a control.

Methods and techniques used to determining the presence and/or severity of an infection are typically known to the medical arts. For example, the art is familiar with the ways to identify and/or diagnose the presence, severity, or both of a bacterial infection, a fungal infection, or both.

As used herein, “effective amount” and “amount effective” can refer to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired result such as, for example, the treatment and/or prevention of a bacterial infection or a suspected bacterial infection or a fungal infection or a suspected fungal infection. As used herein, the terms “effective amount” and “amount effective” can refer to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired an effect on an undesired condition (e.g., a bacterial or a fungal infection). For example, a “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic result or to have an effect on undesired symptoms, but is generally insufficient to cause adverse side effects. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the specific disclosed dry formulation or specific compounded composition, or methods employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration; the route of administration; the rate of excretion of the disclosed dry formulation or the disclosed compounded composition employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with a disclosed dry formulation or a disclosed compounded composition employed and like factors well known in the medical arts. For example, it is well within the skill of the art to start doses of a disclosed dry formulation or a disclosed compounded composition at levels lower than those required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. If desired, then the effective daily dose can be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration. Consequently, a single dose of a disclosed dry formulation or a single dose a disclosed compounded composition, or methods can contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. The dosage can be adjusted by the individual physician in the event of any contraindications. Dosage can vary, and can be administered in one or more dose administrations daily, for one or several days. Guidance can be found in the literature for appropriate dosages for given classes of pharmaceutical products. In further various aspects, a preparation can be administered in a “prophylactically effective amount”; that is, an amount effective for prevention of a disease or condition, such as, for example, a bacterial infection or a fungal infection.
